House Republican thinks undocumented immigrants brought to U.S. as kids should turn in their parents

Steve King embraces Gestapo tactics.

During a CNN appearance on Monday night, immigration hardliner Rep. Steve King (R-IA) suggested that undocumented immigrants who received protection from deportation under Obama-era programs for people who were brought to the U.S. as young children should snitch on their parents in exchange for amnesty.

King responded by suggesting he thinks DACA recipients should indeed turn in their parents.

“What about their parents then?” King said. “If it was against their will, then it had to be their parents who are responsible, and I’m still waiting for the first DACA recipient to say so and sign an affidavit that says, ‘I didn’t really do this on my own accord, my parents brought me in, they should have the law enforced against them, give me amnesty.’ I’m not hearing that from the DACA people.”
